Hair IdentificationAnimal Versus Human Hairs
• Human hairs are distinguishable from hairs of other mammals. Animal hairs are classified into the following three basic types.–Guard hairs that form the outer coat of an animal and provide protection
–Fur or wool hairs that form the inner coat of an animal and provide insulation
![Page 30: Hair CHS Forensics Mr. McNiff. Hair Glossary Introduction Basic Structure of Hair Hair Identification: Animal Versus Human Hairs Human Hair Classifications](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022102619/56649db35503460f94aa3127/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)

Hair IdentificationAnimal Versus Human Hairs
• The medulla, when present in human hairs, is amorphous in appearance, and the width is generally less than one-third the overall diameter of the hair shaft.
• The medulla in animal hairs is normally continuous and structured and generally occupies an area of greater than one-third the overall diameter of the hair shaft.

Methods of Hair Recovery• Sir Edmund Locard's principle
(1930) states that "whenever two objects come into contact, a transfer of material will occur. Trace evidence that is transferred can be used to associate objects, individuals, or locations“
![Page 65: Hair CHS Forensics Mr. McNiff. Hair Glossary Introduction Basic Structure of Hair Hair Identification: Animal Versus Human Hairs Human Hair Classifications](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022102619/56649db35503460f94aa3127/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
Methods of Hair Recovery• Because of the nature of trace
evidence, when processing evidentiary items, care should be taken to minimize the possibility of contamination and cross-transfer.
• Examinations should be sequenced to maximize the potential value of the submitted evidence.
![Page 66: Hair CHS Forensics Mr. McNiff. Hair Glossary Introduction Basic Structure of Hair Hair Identification: Animal Versus Human Hairs Human Hair Classifications](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022102619/56649db35503460f94aa3127/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
Methods of Hair Recovery• Hairs can be recovered from
evidentiary items using a number of different techniques.
• Some of the methods used to collect hairs from clothing and bedding items are scraping, shaking, taping, and picking.
![Page 67: Hair CHS Forensics Mr. McNiff. Hair Glossary Introduction Basic Structure of Hair Hair Identification: Animal Versus Human Hairs Human Hair Classifications](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022102619/56649db35503460f94aa3127/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
Methods of Hair Recovery• Debris from large carpeted
surfaces might be vacuumed into a filtered canister.
• If the specific location of a hair on a clothing item is important, it might be necessary to pick off the hair or tape the item and record where the hair was removed.
![Page 68: Hair CHS Forensics Mr. McNiff. Hair Glossary Introduction Basic Structure of Hair Hair Identification: Animal Versus Human Hairs Human Hair Classifications](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022102619/56649db35503460f94aa3127/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
Methods of Hair Recovery• Whichever method is used, it
should be done in a location designed for that purpose to avoid the possibility of contamination and cross-transfer.
• Special lighting and magnification may facilitate the location and recovery.

Human Hairs Identification• Key characteristics serve as
racial indicators. These indicators are generalities and apply primarily to head hairs.
• The examiner may encounter hairs that cannot easily be associated with a particular racial model because of poorly defined characteristics, limited size, or inconsistent indicators.
![Page 71: Hair CHS Forensics Mr. McNiff. Hair Glossary Introduction Basic Structure of Hair Hair Identification: Animal Versus Human Hairs Human Hair Classifications](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022102619/56649db35503460f94aa3127/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)
Human Hairs Identification• These hairs can be identified as
apparent racial mixtures or as not classifiable.
• In spite of an inability to substantiate race, the hair may still be of value for comparison purposes.
![Page 72: Hair CHS Forensics Mr. McNiff. Hair Glossary Introduction Basic Structure of Hair Hair Identification: Animal Versus Human Hairs Human Hair Classifications](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022102619/56649db35503460f94aa3127/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
Human Hairs Identification• This racial mixture may serve to
further individualize the hair and its source, particularly if the same mixed racial characteristics are observed in both the questioned and known samples.

Comparison Characteristics • Certain physical features such
as sex, size, age, shape, eye color, hair texture, and color can distinguish individuals.
• None of these features is peculiar to only one individual, but the general appearance and arrangement of these features serves as criteria for identification.
![Page 90: Hair CHS Forensics Mr. McNiff. Hair Glossary Introduction Basic Structure of Hair Hair Identification: Animal Versus Human Hairs Human Hair Classifications](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022102619/56649db35503460f94aa3127/html5/thumbnails/90.jpg)
Comparison Characteristics • There are, likewise, a number of
features or characteristics that may be present in a given hair sample that, when considered collectively, provide a basis for association
![Page 91: Hair CHS Forensics Mr. McNiff. Hair Glossary Introduction Basic Structure of Hair Hair Identification: Animal Versus Human Hairs Human Hair Classifications](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022102619/56649db35503460f94aa3127/html5/thumbnails/91.jpg)
Comparison Characteristics • The process of identification or
association involves distinct stages in the course of an examination.

Conclusions• There are three basic
conclusions that can be reached from a microscopic examination and comparison of hairs.–The hairs from the questioned (Q) source exhibit the same microscopic characteristics as the hairs in a known (K) hair sample and can be associated to the source of the known hairs.
![Page 94: Hair CHS Forensics Mr. McNiff. Hair Glossary Introduction Basic Structure of Hair Hair Identification: Animal Versus Human Hairs Human Hair Classifications](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022102619/56649db35503460f94aa3127/html5/thumbnails/94.jpg)
Conclusions–The hairs from the questioned source are microscopically dissimilar to the hairs in a known hair sample and cannot be associated with the source of the known hairs.
![Page 95: Hair CHS Forensics Mr. McNiff. Hair Glossary Introduction Basic Structure of Hair Hair Identification: Animal Versus Human Hairs Human Hair Classifications](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022102619/56649db35503460f94aa3127/html5/thumbnails/95.jpg)
Conclusions–The questioned hairs exhibit both similarities and slight differences to hairs found in a known hair sample, and no conclusion can be reached whether they could have originated from the known source.
